Ya!
Hey there family. This is so great to have this blog! Way to go Mel!!!!
I thought that I would give you abit of an insight into my life nowadays. For me my life is completely emersed in candels. I work at a candel factory, and have entered into the factory life and culture. Let me tell you, this is a world that I knew was around, but had never experienced and now I am not only experiencing it, but I am living in it. I work in the line doing the same repetitive job over and over again, standing on straight concrete for eight hours a day. I start at 7am, and am done at 3pm, and everyone watches the clock like a hawk. It's unbelievable. I think for me the most exciting part of my day is punching in and punching out. I go to work, and have a secret code that I punch into this machine. Then I have to put my hand on this platform with all these minature poles sticking out of it, indicating exactly where to place my hand. It then scans my hand to identify that it is actually me. There is no electric shock, or you don't see this lazar scanning my hand or anything, but if this is the most exciting part of my day, you quickly get the picture of the menotenous life of a candel factory worker. It's pretty crazy. As horrible as I am making it out to be, it is getting better and the people are hillarious and let me just say they have a different vocabulary then I do. Every other word is swearing or cursing, and everything is "f'n" this and that. At first I thought they were "f 'n" upset and very passionate about their "f'n" problems, but I quickly realized that their "f 'n" vocabulary is very limited to that one "f 'n" word. It was abit of a shock, but I started to be quite humoured by the whole thing.
So things are definatly doing okay. My contract ends on the 16th of December, and it may be extended to Christmas, so it is a very short term job but it will help pay for my great adventures in life.
Well, I hope you are all having a great adventure where ever you are, and remember to live SPAFE, spontaneous yet safe!
